    Maud Adams not only looks beautiful, she has a lovely voice too.

    Former Star Trek Bald babe Persis Khambata was considered for Octopussy.
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    Music “Arrival At the Island Of Octopussy”

    Another exquisite piece, channelling the luxury of the location.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    I like how Octopussy is initially set up as like a FRWL Blofeld figure.

    Kabir Bedi, very good as Gobinda. One of the better henchmen

    The Sheep’s Head is very anti Fleming.
    Bond in the books would stuff his face from the culinary angle.

    Suddenly I'm watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom …….. No, wait - It's Smalahove! :o

    Moore looks his age here, but it's not a problem- he carries it so much better here than in AVTAK

    Oh, so many jokes in the Shakespeare section

    Gobinda is an impressive henchman, sartorially, and with deadpan delivery and presence which is perfect as a foil to both the humorous Kamal and the humorous Bond.

    I'd like to see an alternate version where Bond and Gobinda have a nightcap together.

    Oh!!! Even for a break away prop, the detail that must have gone into those eggs.
    Jordan plays the moment nicely.
